FairMarkets (No relation to the Australian licensed firm Trive Financial Services Australia Pty Ltd.)

FairMarkets (No relation to the Australian licensed firm Trive Financial Services Australia Pty Ltd.) had an outage that lasted several hours during a major market event. Not only did they fail to prevent it, but they also failed to communicate what was happening. We were left in the dark while our investments were at risk.

The reporting at FairMarkets (No relation to the Australian licensed firm Trive Financial Services Australia Pty Ltd.) is laughably bad. Tax documents are inaccurate, transaction histories have gaps, and trying to export data for your accountant is a nightmare. For a financial platform, getting the numbers right should be the bare minimum.

After for close to eighteen months with FairMarkets (No relation to the Australian licensed firm Trive Financial Services Australia Pty Ltd.) I requested to close my account and withdraw. They said I had to complete a 30-day cooling-off period. Then they said there was a minimum holding period for my last deposit. They make it as hard as possible to leave.

I invested $500 with FairMarkets (No relation to the Australian licensed firm Trive Financial Services Australia Pty Ltd.) after seeing their professional-looking website. At first, everything seemed fine - they showed me impressive returns on my dashboard. But when I tried to withdraw, they kept making excuses. First it was "processing time," then "verification needed," then "you need to pay a tax fee first." I never got my money back. I have since reported them to British Columbia Securities Commission.

I am in a dispute with FairMarkets (No relation to the Australian licensed firm Trive Financial Services Australia Pty Ltd.) over a trade that was clearly erroneous. The price shown was wrong, I closed at a profit, and they reversed the trade and took the money back. They said it was a system error. So I lose and they keep? Unacceptable.

Customer support at FairMarkets (No relation to the Australian licensed firm Trive Financial Services Australia Pty Ltd.) seems to be run by people who have never used the platform. Every time I call with an issue, I end up explaining how their own system works before they can help me. It would be funny if my money was not involved.

I was contacted by FairMarkets (No relation to the Australian licensed firm Trive Financial Services Australia Pty Ltd.) through social media. They promised guaranteed returns of 20-30% monthly. Being naive, I invested. The "account manager" pressured me to invest more and more. When I finally tried to take profit, my account was frozen and they stopped responding. Classic Ponzi/advance fee fraud.

Several red flags with FairMarkets (No relation to the Australian licensed firm Trive Financial Services Australia Pty Ltd.): (1) They promise unrealistically high returns, (2) They're not registered with British Columbia Securities Commission, (3) Their contact information is vague, (4) They pressure you to deposit quickly. I recommend everyone do thorough due diligence before investing with any company.

Do not be fooled by the professional-looking website. Behind the scenes, FairMarkets (No relation to the Australian licensed firm Trive Financial Services Australia Pty Ltd.) is disorganized and incompetent. I found them through my accountant's suggestion and I can only assume the positive reviews are either outdated or paid for because my experience was terrible.

For anyone considering FairMarkets (No relation to the Australian licensed firm Trive Financial Services Australia Pty Ltd.), please be aware that this company has been flagged by British Columbia Securities Commission. This does not necessarily mean they are a scam, but it does mean they may not be authorized to operate in certain jurisdictions. I strongly recommend checking the official regulator website before making any investment decisions.
